 * Hi,
    Having a problem with displaying the events in the right order on our home
   page.
 * We have events for example on the 1st Oct and 14th Oct but we want only the 1st
   to show and then when that event is over the 14th should show. At the moment 
   it puts up the 14th Oct.
    The shortcode we are using is: [events_list limit=”
   1″ orderby=”event_start_date”]#_EVENTDATES<br/>[/events_list]
 * What we need is to say next start date, I’ve tried various version but can’t 
   get it to work. Any help would be much appreciated.
 * thanks
 * Colin

 * Did you already tried something like
 *     ```
       [events_list limit=1 order="DESC" orderby="event_start_date" scope="future"]
       #_EVENTDATES<br/>
       [/events_list]
       ```
